Don't take that example file out of RH though , its NDA and client/attorney
priviledged. Trace looks like a buffer overrun but I may be wrong.

Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-09-26 18:36:15 UTC 
Fixed in CVS.  The buffer would place a row in the wrong place, and an assertion
would be triggered.
Comment 3 Alan Cox 2002-09-26 20:09:50 UTC 
Does that mean we can downgrade it from security to "doh stupid bug" ?
Comment 4 Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-10-18 00:22:34 UTC 
I guess so.
